Testing and Guidance Play
Important Role at Sol
Hu WILTON 0. SCOTT
Education, like industry, has cer-
tain goals and standards of
achievement. The neople of any
comthun'tv c:tn right’v ask at anv-
time, “What are the goals and
a ms of our teachers and our
■ ‘hools? l, \t hat is Cu'dance?”
“How does a Guidance Program
ad. in achieving teaching goals?”
T he Chatham County Public
S hools have no aims apart from
the development of hoys and emls.
If vou ask SoPC. Johnson teachers,
‘What are you trying to do? What
do you assume to be your basic
t -ks? How does your Guidance
Program function?” Thev would
answer something like this:
“We are teaching boys and girls
to become good cit'zens who think
and act in a straight forward man¬
ner and who have good character
and moral firmness.”
The wide range of
school activities provide the need-
ed day to day experiences which
will help students to practice good
citizenship. In his participation
the student practices critical think¬
ing, realizing that the pulse beat
of a great country is found only-
in sjfi informed citizenry. Founda-
tiews for this kind of thinking will
be Ifound on every grade level at
Sol I G. Johnson.
Tl fhe teachers are helping stu-
dents to master the fundamental
skills. The skills include reading,
writing, arithmetic, and spelling.
Every citizen in a democracy must
be able to read intelligently, speak
c-orrectly, Write effectively and
listen critically in order Jgiat he
may direct his own thinking, com¬
municate his ideas to others, and
become a self directing individual,
as well as a contributing member
of society.
The curriculum includes elec¬
tives suen as Brick Masonry,
Homemaking, Industrial Arts,
French, Typing, Shorthand, Art,
Music, Mechanical Drawing,
Chemistry and Geometry. Electives
are selected by some students to
meet vocational goals; by other
students as enrichment courses.
At Sol Johnson, it is felt that a
sound guidance program evolves
from the cooperative planning and
the effort of the entire school
staff, the student body and the
parents. The Guidance Program
is a combination of special services
which the school provides for help¬
ing students in their school living;
it is also designed to help them de¬
velop in their home living, and to
help them develop into well-ad¬
justed citizens; it provides oppor¬
tunities for helping students make
happy and satisfactory adjust-
pient in the world of work.
These special services are infor¬
mation services. Testing services
ind counseling services are avail-
ble. These services are carried
ut by a Guidance Committee,
Leachers appointed by the prin-
ipal.

Nation’s Top Lawyers Plan
“Sit-Downers”
Bv ALICE A. DUNNIGAN
WASHINGTON, (ANP)—Per-
sons who enter Stores which are
open to the public are considered
“invitees,” not “trespassers.”
And once a person gets into a
store, he cannot be denied service,
nor can he be restricted to a cer-
tain department. If he can buy
needles and pins he can buy ham-
burgers.
This was the conclusion reached
by the 62 lawyers who held a two-
day conference here recently. The
purpose of the meeting was to de-
cide what legal grounds could be
used to defend students arrested
jteiSoirifh U>r peacefully demon- lunch
